I just heard the awful news
F Bb
I could steer around the rocks

That train came on through
F Bb
And the works getting slow
F Bb
Now where's a boat man to go?
Dm Bb
I think I'll float on down

To Richmond town
Dm Bb
They don't need us anymore
Dm
Haulin' freight from shore to shore
Bb
That big iron hauls much more
C
Than we ever could before
F Bb F Bb
F Bb
I've seen good men going wrong
F Bb
I've seen bad ones get it right
F Bb
As that river rolls along
F Bb
I'll be stepping out tonight
Dm Bb
On the cool flow
Dm Bb
Floatin' down, down below
Dm Bb
The bridge to the waters edge
Dm Bb
